i guess sealed off in the sense it's a communist regime/closed society where digging requires a ton of paperwork and can denied on a whim... sure haven't heard of any finds in years.

O.K. I get that. Last really major Homo erectus find was '66.

Last excavations were '78 to '80. Apparently they're working there again, though. A crack in the limestone threatens a roof collapse, and they're trying to fix that and/or remove material that might be destroyed if they fail. I saw a short news story on this awhile back.
